Two Minds is a major volume exploring and critiquing
the subject of collaboration between artists and architects.
Interest and activity in this field is growing rapidly, making this
book a timely consideration of an important phenomenon. Extensively
illustrated and stunningly designed, the book documents 18 projects
funded through the RSA Art for
Architecture scheme and focuses on work by internationally
renowned figures such as Mark Dion, Chris Ofili, David Adjaye and
Herzog & de Meuron, alongside that of emerging practitioners.
As well as containing in depth case studies, Two Minds
features commissioned essays by Philip Ursprung and Cara Mullio
which explore key issues surrounding collaborative practice. A
range of dynamic and pertinent topics are discussed, including the
high level of support for art and architecture schemes in German
speaking areas of Europe, the recent move of many so-called
'gallery' artists into the public domain and new ways of working
that are opened up through collaboration.
